Forbidden. . .

Chapter 28:

"Is the movie ready?" I ask Joey as I sit next to Lucas on the couch.

 "No, press play," he tells me.

 "Uh, no, you're closer," I reason.

 "Who cares? I'm older," he smirks.

 "In age only," I tell him. That confuses him. We all sit there in silence, none of us getting up to press play.

 "Ohmigawd! I'll do it, you guys!" Ally exclaims as she stands up from her position on the floor next to Joey.

 "Thanks," we all tell her.

 "Can y'all two stop it? It's really grossing me out," Joey complains in the middle of the movie.

 "Stop what? We're only sitting really close," I roll my eyes at Joey.

 "That's exactly what I'm talking about!" He exclaimes.

 I scowl at him and look at Ally, who is asleep on the floor, "Shut up and cuddle to your girlfriend," I mutter.

 He strutters, "W-what? I-Sh-No! She's not my girlfriend."

 "Yet," I smile.

 He rolls his eyes and lays next to her and continues to watch the movie. I lay my head on Lucas' shoulder and close my eyes. Then, I fall into a soft sleep.

__________

 "Ella," I haer someone softly whisper my name into my ear.

 I stir in my sleep, no wanting to get up, "Hm?"

 "Wake up," I can now tell that it is Lucas trying to wake me up. I grab his hand and pull him down onto the bed with me. He lays beside me. I open my eyes and look into his dark brown orbs. "Good morning to you too," he mutters.

 I smile, "If ya wanted to lay next to me, you could've asked. You didn't have to wake me up."

 "Good one, now get up and get ready for school," he orders.

 "So pushy, aren't you supposed to be the boyfriend that says 'no, stay home with me?'" I ask him.

 "Not if I'm the teacher, though," he frowns.

 My smile slips off of my face, "Forgot about that part," I then look around my room and remember that I hadn't fallen asleep here, "How'd I get into my room?"

 "I carried you," he smiled at the memory.

 "Well, thanks," I kiss him on the cheek. "Now, get out of my room so I can get ready for school."

 "Good girl," he nods his head.

 I glare at him, "I'm not a dog," I remind him.

 He laughs, "That you aren't."

"So, I was wondering if I could possibly stay this weekend at your place," Whitney asked me before first period.

 I looked around for Ally, "I was actually planning on staying at Ally's, you could join if you'd like though," I smiled at her.

 "No thanks, maybe another weekend then," she shrugged.

 "Okay then," I nod my head.

 "So, what'd y'all do after I left?" She asked me.

 "We went to my house and watched movies with my brother," I told her. It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the entire truth either.

 "Fun, what'd y'all watch?" She asked.

 "The usual action movies, we watched a total of like 3 to 5," I yawned, "how was your night?" I ask her.

 She smiles a secret smile and I watch her suspiciously, "It was interesting, very fun too," her smile grows.

 "Ooh, who's the lucky guy?" I ask her.

 She frowns, "Just a friend, sadly."

 "Hey you two!" Mike exclaimes once he reaches Whitney and I.

 "Hi, Mike."

 "Hey," Whitney says with a slight blush on her cheeks.

 "I'm having a party this weekend, y'all are of course invited, bring Ally along too." He then makes his way away from us to invite more people.

 "So, Mike huh?" I nudge Whitney on the side.

 "What?" She asks, her eyes wide.

 I laugh, "It's cool, he's a cutie." I nod.

 She sighs, "That he is," she then laughs. "We hung out last night, he lives like two houses away from me. He's really funny, and so cute," she sighs again.

 "I think he's funny and a cool person," I tell her.

 "Thanks," she nods her head.

 "Hello," Ally says in a sing song voice.

 "Hi, Ally," I smile.

 __________

 "It was so hilarious! His face was fucking priceless! You should have seen it!" Whitney and Ally exclaim as they are still laughing.

 I pout, "You guys make me so angry, I wish I had that class with you guys too."

 "He was all like, 'Whitney, can I have your number?' and she was like, 'Sorry, I don't have a phone' and then he was like 'what's in your hand then?' and she was like 'Oh, hold that thought, I have a text'. Best thing ever!" Ally and Whitney both exclaimed with laughter.

 It was so contagious I ended up laughing as well. That was until I saw who was beginning to walk toward out table. "Jerk Butt, 3 o'clock."

 That causes the two of them to lift their head and look in the direction that Chase was coming from. Once he was close enough he looked at the three of us, "What do you want, Chase?" Whitney asked him.

 "You back," was the only thing he replied with.

 "Not gonna happen, just leave me alone," she replied.

 "Why won't you just forgive me? It was a mistake," he explained.

 "You shouldn't have done it. You shouldn't even have done it for the money. You were dating me," Whitney told him.

 Chase looked from her to me, "This is your fault," he states.

 "It isn't my fault. You're the one that's dumb enough to try and cheat on someone with someone else that goes to the same school, who does that?" I laugh.

 "Leave, Chase. Just, leave," Ally tells him.

He walks away. "I need a guy," Whitney states.

 "You just got rid of one," Ally and I laugh.

 "He was gross," she shrugged.

 We laughed. "Ella! I know who she'd be good with!" Ally exclaimed.

 "Who?" Whitney and I asked.

 "Dylan," he smiled.

 I thought about it, "I think so too, you two have got to meet!" I smiled.

 "Is he cute?" She asked.

 "No! He's hot!" Ally exclaimed.
